In celebration of this — I am a complete sandwich junkie — I’m going to make my favorite sandwich for Christine and I in Apple’s cafeteria.

The infamous PBLBM. Delicious. But you have to follow the instructions exactly.

Start with two slices of good, solid, bread. Multi-grain works well. Country style sourdough (with the big holes) works even better.

Put peanut butter on one slice, mayonnaise on the other. Do not let the PB and M touch in any way!!

On the Peanut side, add slices of banana.

On the Mayonnaise side, add slices of bacon.

Place a layer of lettuce on top of the bacon. Make sure the bacon is entirely covered (but don’t use too much lettuce).

Put it together as a proper sandwich.

If it is assembled correctly, the lettuce will act as a gasket between the two halves. This is the critical detail.

Enjoy. Totally delicious sandwich.

(PBLBM is Peanut Butter, Banana, Lettuce, Bacon, Mayonnaise — the order is critical).

This has been one of my favorite sandwiches for over 50 years, except I didn’t put lettuce on it. People thought I made this up, but I think I first saw it in a camping magazine. Crunchy, gooey, sweet, salty, savory, and yummy!
Next time I make one, I will CONSIDER adding the lettuce gasket, though the introduction of green food into a perfectly fine sandwich seems risky. I may have to make 2 sandwiches: one as God intended us to make them, and another with the lettuce.
